It is by far the biggest bargain offering that many shadows at only £3.99!

Swatches:

Row 1

Row 2

Row 3

Row 4

It's hard to tell in the photo's, but the colour payoff is amazing, and the colours are so complimentary to each other, making it easy to create so many different looks. At a glance I can see at least 10 different eye looks you can create with this!

Size Comparison:

MAC Palette size comparison - Length

MAC Palette size comparison - Width

I'm so happy with my finds, and I definitely got a lot for my money.
And I hope this helps anyone in need of a spree without doing too much damage to their bank balance!

I also ordered 4 of their All Over Colour Stick's, pictured and swatched below:

Finally I ordered 2 of their eyeshadow duo's, and one of their cream eyeshadow duos, shown below:

Custom Eyes:

Pro's:I love the colour payoff with these shadows, they're quite light but can all be built up easily and the colours are perfect to work within my regularly used eyeshadow colours. I can't wait to do an eye look with these. I've been itching to do an eye look on here!
Also, I love the fact that they fit perfectly within my MAC palette.

Con's: My only criticism is I wish there was more of a range of colours as there are only 3 more I need to get before I have e.l.f's entire Custom Eyes collection!

Other than that, if you CAN see a colour that appeals to you, I definitely recommend these.

All Over Colour Stick's:

Pro's: I actually really love these! My favourite colour has to be Lilac Petal, but I really like all of them. Toastie looks like it would be waay to dark for me, BUT I'm sure I can find a way to use this. I would probably just use it as cream eyeshadow. I love the colours they all give off, really looking forwards to properly working with these :)

Con's: I can't work out if this is a bad thing, but to me they kind of smell like water colour paints. I'm very arty, so to me this is a nice smell, but others may not like it so I've put this in the con's.

Again (if you like cream blush's etc) I would recommend these!

Eyeshadow Duo's:

Pro's: Again, I like the colour pay-off, and my favourite is Berry Mix, particularly the darker berry colour. The colours look more distinctive in real life than in the photo.

Con's: Again, I'd say not enough colour range, there was only a choice between 6, and the colour choices are all very simiar to eachother.

Cream Eyeshadow Duo:

I'm really disappointed with the colour pay-off of this one. As you can see it barely shows up on my skin, even when I attempted to build the colours up. You can just about see the pinky colour, but the beige/yellow one just looks like a faint smear of dirt :/

Not so impressed with this one, though will have a play around with it to see if I can get it to show up. The skin tone around my eyes will be slightly different to the skin on my arm where I swatched it, so hopefully I'll have more luck there.

Verdict:
Overall: I am SO happy with my purchases. It was my first time shopping at Eyes Lips Face, and will definitely be going back! I just hope they expand their Custom Eyes range so I have lots more to choose from on my next purchase!

Friday, 8 July 2011

Last night I, along with many other bloggers, attended the first iFabbo UK event.

It was my first event so was fairly nervous going up to London on my own for it. But I'm so glad I went as I really enjoyed it and met lots of lovely people.

It was held at The Powder Room in Soho. It was such a beautiful and chic location, and we were all spoiled with cocktails from Rocktails and cupcakes from The Cake in a Cup. We were given an introduction for what iFabbo was about ( International Organisation for Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle Bloggers), and then we were given talks by various brands as they introduced themselves and told us all about their products.

If you are on twitter you may have heard of the upcoming French brand Boudoir Prive. They were there last night and gave us a talk on their up coming launch - though they were very good at giving nothing away!

Paul & Joe Beaute Talk

The lovely Zoe from Murad

Zoe from Murad was at the event to talk about their products, and it was clear she knew her brand! I'd heard of Murad before, but never given them much thought. But since hearing about them I've been really looking forwards to trying their products as they have such an extensive range tailored to everyone's needs!

The Make Up Store Talk

We also heard from Swedish brand 'The Make Up Store', which I'm very excited about! I hadn't heard of them before the event, but definitely recommend checking them out - their up-coming Autumn and Winter collections look amazing!

The Goody Bags
(sorry for the blurry photo)

Each of us who went were treated to a goody bag with an amazing range of products from Beautisol, Colbert MD, Collection 2000, Eylure, Elegant Touch, The Make Up Store, Murad, Paul and Joe Beaute, Rocktails, and Witch Skincare.

My Goody Bag!

This is the only sneak peak I'll post of my goody bag for now!

I have completely raided the bag and cant wait to properly try everything out!

If you're interested in what's inside stay tuned for my next post ;)

I had an amazing time, and would definitely recommend iFabbo to other bloggers! You can sign up on their website here.
